Chapter 739

"Pfft."

The lead pendant smashed into the school of fish with the hook, and then Lu Xiaolu quickly swung it upwards.

"Woo~"

The fishing line straightened instantly, and the tip of the fishing rod was bent a bit, but this fishing rod was relatively hard, so that was all there was to it. After only a second of stalemate, the fish was pulled out of the water and flew into the air. Fly into the sky and experience the feeling of a trapeze.

"Whoa."

The water splashed by the fish splashed directly on Lu Xiaolu's head, but luckily he was wearing a raincoat and a hat.

With a snap, the fish was thrown directly on the deck. The barbless hook only hooked a little deep on its back. After being thrown over, the fishhook fell off directly, and there was no need to untie it. , is a small trout, weighing about half a catty.

Like tuna, the big ones like to stay on the bottom of the sea, and the small ones like to come to the surface to look for food, mix with small predators such as skipjack tuna, white striped tuna, and blackfin tuna, chasing shrimp schools and small fish schools .

Don't worry about it for the time being, most of these predatory fish are relatively vigorous, and they won't die for a while, they are very energetic, and they have jumped to the corner of the deck at this moment.

At the same time, a second fish was thrown up, followed by a second and a third.

One after another, the fish were thrown up and bounced around on the deck in a "crackling" manner.

Lu Xiaolu didn't have time to look at it at all, so he had to hurry up and catch more fish while the school of fish was still there, because the amount of live bait was very large.

Fishing in this way is quite interesting. You don’t need to wait or hang bait, just throw the hook into the fish school, lift it hard, and the hook will hook on the fish, and the belly, back, gills, and scales are all possible.

There are also some that the hook will be empty, or the hook will not be deep enough, and half of the fish will fall into the sea.

Gradually, Lu Xiaolu mastered a little technique. After throwing it in, he had to lift it up quickly and vigorously, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into the fish.

This kind of fishhook is also relatively short, which is for convenience. When it is thrown up, the fish can be dropped directly, saving the need to take the hook.

After mastering the skills, the probability of empty hooks is much smaller. Slowly, there are more and more fish on the deck.

A sea pomfret jumped to Lu Xiaolu's feet, he didn't pay attention and stepped on it.

With a "squeak~", the body fell to the side.

"Ehhh!"

Lu Xiaolu subconsciously threw away the fishing rod and raised his feet, trying to control his balance. He kept kicking his feet like he was riding a bicycle, and ran several steps in a row, from the deck to the kitchen door.

It happened that Xueli came out to call him to eat, and as soon as she came out, she saw Lu Xiaolu rushing towards him.

I hate it, you don't have to be so eager to hug, Shirley showed a touch of embarrassment.

Subconsciously, she opened her hands to welcome his embrace.

As a result, Lu Xiaolu got lower and lower as he ran, and hugged Xueli's calf with a "snap", and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

"What are you doing, little donkey Oppa?"

"Hold your thighs."

Xue Li had a black thread in her hair, and helped him up: "Hurry up and eat."

"Wait a minute, I'll collect the fish."

"Ah."

The two went to the deck again, collected all the fish, and put them into the live water tank.

At this moment, more than 20 fish have been caught, ranging from half a catty to two catties. Skipjack is the most, followed by blackfin tuna, then trout, pomfret, and some shrimps. This food is delicious and nutritious, rich in protein and various minerals. It is best for fitness people to eat shrimp.

Even if it is too little, you can't get it by digging the net. The mesh is too big, otherwise you can get a bowl and fry it in oil, it will be crispy and fragrant.

"quack!"

There were so many fish on the deck, which attracted Xiao Hong who was sleeping in the engine room. Seeing so many fish, she felt as if she had seen heaven. She found a blackfin tuna and swallowed it.

When Shirley saw it, she came over and chased it away: "Go, go! You still have to pick up good food."

This kind of fishing method is really cool. Lu Xiaolu has caught so many fish by himself in just a short while, and if he adds up, he can sell at least a few hundred yuan.

More than a dozen people working on those skipjack boats work at the same time, and the fish they catch are all pushed into the warehouse with shovels, earning old money.

But still the same sentence, you can’t find this kind of resources in the inner sea, so come to the outer sea, the cost is too high, and you can’t make money alone.

After dinner, it was completely dark, but it was still early today, it was only 06:30, and we had enough live bait.

The two discussed it, and decided to go to bed now, and then get up to fish in the early morning, and catch as much as possible when they need to go back to Hong Kong.

Normally, I can’t fall asleep at six o’clock, but I can’t help it. If I can’t sleep, I won’t be able to work tomorrow. I can only force myself to sleep. I drank some wine before going to bed, which helps me sleep. I set the alarm clock for two o’clock in the morning. .

Sleeping from six o'clock to two o'clock is eight hours, which is enough.

But it is not so easy to fall asleep, the biological clock is here.

Usually I can fall asleep within 5 minutes, but today it took half an hour, and my eyelids started to fight around 06:30, and I slowly fell asleep.

Before the alarm clock rang, Lu Xiaolu woke up by himself. Going to bed early is like this, and it is easy to wake up in the middle of the night.

Looking at the searchlights outside, I got used to it for a while, then glanced at my watch, it was 01:30.

Forget it, don't sleep, there is half an hour left, let's use it to find fish.

After getting up and washing up, Lu Xiaolu manipulated the crayfish.

At this time, the water was quiet, and nocturnal creatures like lobsters and eels were slowly looking for food.

There was actually a tuna at the bottom, swimming slowly, much slower than during the day.

However, this fish is not big, so we can't waste time here. Today's time is not enough. We must find a good fish school to ensure that they can catch the most fish in the shortest time.

He wanted the money, and so did the champion, but tuna fishing was too slow and tiring.

If you want to be more efficient, you have to find sailfish and swordfish. If trolling is easier, you can catch more fish with limited physical strength, and at the same time give an explanation to Kenjiro Sekiki.

The search range was three nautical miles, and Lu Xiaolu finally found the figures of these guys. They were two swordfishes. Their snouts were much sharper and longer than the swordfish, so they were easy to recognize.

Their current swimming speed is not fast, and they are slowly swaying in the middle and upper layers of sea water.

Only when it sees the prey, it will suddenly accelerate and rush up.

Suddenly, a school of small fish appeared in front of them, and the two swordfish rushed forward as their tails swung as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

It doesn't matter that the longnose didn't poke the fish, the real way swordfish prey is to stun the school and then enjoy the meal.
